Your Turn Now

Now that you have read all about paragraphs, including development and transitions, it's time for you to begin drafting your paragraphs. Since you have already developed your working thesis, you should be ready to make a basic plan for your essay and draft your first paragraphs.

REMEMBER: The paragraphs you write now will be rough drafts, and you'll work on revising and polishing them later in the writing process. Right now, the important thing is to just get your ideas down.
